Saturday was a day to dig just one large plug. It was about fourteen inches by about twelve inches and came out perfectly with pretty green grass still growing thick. Then the hole was deepened another foot and a half, the ground was actually pretty free of rocks and the roots were easily cut. The bottom was scraped pretty smooth and the dirt was placed in a bucket. After a time period of family gathering around in a circle and remembering my Mother, her ashes in the beautiful walnut box were laid to rest. We began taking dirt out of the bucket with our hands and placing some on the box. Then, because my mother never met very many rocks that she didn't like and bring home, a six year old placed a very large crystal on the dirt and then an eight year old placed a beautiful Geo rock beside it and more dirt was placed over it. The bottom of the plug was moistened with water and then place on top. It was a good day, my mother loved the dirt, gardened and all of that, she just loved nature. She was born in an old log cabin, no electricity or running water but died in a very nice two story log cabin with central air, the works. We placed numerous wild flowers and such over the plug, many that she had planted around the house. My younger brother and I placed a yellow rose (her favorite) over her spot and then left. It was a good day.
